Camosun College is well-recognized for excellence in hospitality
education with a strong history of combining the practical and applied
skills necessary for graduates to be in demand in the workforce with
the theoretical knowledge to understand the industry on a global
scale. The Camosun College Post-Degree Diploma in Applied
Tourism and Hospitality Management is designed with the advanced
learner in mind and will combine the Hospitality and Tourism sectors
in a dynamic, applied program. Focusing on core values of service,
cultural diversity, sustainability, and a global world view, students will
examine the business world through a tourism lens.
This program is suitable for students seeking employment with an
existing tourism or hospitality operation or those seeking to develop
their own tourism-related venture. It is expected students will
come away with a comprehensive understanding of the corporate
hospitality trade as well as an appreciation of the smaller tourism
enterprises that sustain much of Canada’s tourism industry. As the
combined field of Hospitality and Tourism is one of the largest
industries and employers on a global scale, the PDD in Applied
Tourism and Hospitality Management will combine an applied focus
and a global awareness to provide students with the skills needed to
be successful in today’s economy.
